Abstract:
We study the finite-size corrections of the dimer model on $\infty\times N$ square lattice with two different
boundary conditions: free and periodic. We find that the finite-size corrections depend in a crucial way on the parity of $N$, and show that, because of certain non-local features present in the model, a change of parity of $N$ induces a change of boundary condition. Taking a careful account of this, these unusual finite-size behaviours can be fully explained in the framework of the $c=-2$ logarithmic conformal field theory.
Keywords:
dimer model; finite-size corrections; conformal field theory.
